Odio DATE: r FILE: SUBJECT: Resolution Rescinding and Re -ordering Downtown Highway REFERENCES: Improvement -Phase II H-4521 City Manager ENCLOSURES: `For Commission Meeting of rah rat arXjN IO AI - RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution rescinding the ordering resolution adopted January 8, 1987 and re -ordering Downtown Highway Improvement - Phase II H-4521, and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for sealed bids for the construction of said improvement. BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Works, after studying the downtown area and considering the wishes of the property owners, and in a continuing effort to serve all residents of the City of Miami, is proposing an assessable improvement under Section 56 of the Charter of the City of Miami described as Downtown Highway Improvement - Phase II. This improvement district is located at N.W. 1 Street between Biscayne Boulevard and M.19. 1 Avenue, and at N.W. 1 Avenue between N.W. 1 Street and N.W. 5 Street. On January 8, 1987 the City Commission passed resolution no. 87-3 which ordered Downtown Highway Improvement - Phase II. At that time it was the C i ty's intention to rebuild North 1 Street and South 1 Street within the central business district. Subsequent to the adoption of said resolution, several events have occurred that make it desirable to improve N.W. 1 Avenue from N.W. 1 Street to N.W. 5 Street instead of improving South 1 Street in Downtown Highway Improvement - Phase II. The City has entered into an agreement with the Florida East Coast Railway Company and its subsidiary Gran Central Corporation whereby the City has agreed to expeditiously rebuild N.W. 1 Avenue between N.W. 1 Street and N.W. 5 Street at no cost to the F.E.C. Railway or Gran Central. All other owners of property within the proposed highway improvement district will be assessed for a portion of the cost of the improvements. 96-12% The Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Project and the Miami Arena construction are already underway. The C i ty has already awarded a -contract for reconstruction of N.W. 1 Avenue between N.W. 5 Street and N.W. 10 Street to serve and enhance these two major projects. This portion of N.W. 1 Avenue, already under construction, is being realigned and widened to provide four lanes of vehicular traffic. It is now desirable to realign and widen the portion. of 1 Avenue from N.W. 1 Street to N.W. 5 Street. The agreement with F.E.C. Rallway, the ongoing redevelopment of Southeast Overtown/Park West, and the construction of the Miami Arena all justify placing a higher priority on rebuilding N.W. 1 Avenue between N.W. 1 Street and N.W. 5 Street than on rebuilding South i Street between Biscayne Boulevard and West 2 Avenue. - 2 - 2- 198-129.
